Obama Warns Students About “Stupid” Facebook Posts

“I’ve been hearing a lot about young people who, you know, they’re posting stuff on Facebook, and then suddenly they go apply for a job, and …” the President stated in an address live from Wakefield High School in the Washington suburb of Arlington, Virginia.

“First of all, I want everybody here to be careful about what you post on Facebook, because in the YouTube age whatever you do, it will be pulled up again later somewhere in your life. And when you’re young, you know, you make mistakes and you do some stupid stuff,” Obama said to a student who asked him what he could do to become president, too.

The president’s advice to high school students follows reports that many prospective employers may be mining social networking websites for background information on job applicants.

Facebook Hooky Cost Woman Her Job

If you are sick at home check out Berez's Facebook Page..I promise not to fire you..

ZURICH (Reuters) - A Swiss insurance worker lost her job after surfing popular social network site Facebook while off sick, her employer said Friday.

 The woman said she could not work in front of a computer as she needed to lie in the dark but was then seen to be active on Facebook, which insurer Nationale Suisse said in a statement had destroyed its trust in the employee.”This abuse of trust, rather than the activity on Facebook, led to the ending of the work contract,” it said.

 The unnamed woman told the 20 Minuten daily she had been surfing Facebook in bed on her iPhone and accused her employer of spying on her and other employees by sending a mysterious friend request which allows access to personal online activity.Nationale Suisse rejected the accusation of spying and said the employee’s Facebook activity had been stumbled across by a colleague in November, before use of the social network site was blocked in the company.

Eventually we will all have microchips in our arms monitoring our every move. Its just a matter of time. -JOSE BIDEN
